      The fan in my T480 isn’t very loud. I have an old Clevo laptop that’s much louder and the fans even run while it’s idle.

      idk the fan’s pretty decent compared to my other machines. The HP I was daily driving before I got my T480s not only sounds like it’s trying to take off, but the fan is constantly running (I’ve tried turning off this feature in the UEFI, to no avail).

        I have a T480. Apparently they fixed the fan in the S. I have 16gb ram and 2tb storage and yet it can’t handle geoguessr in my browser. The fan likes to get real loud and temp gets hot. Sometimes decides to do that when im not dojng anything on it. Occasionally it’ll randomly refuse to boot because of “fan error.” Usually going in and jiggling the fan internally works but it’s annoying to deal with. Tried reapplying thermal paste but that didn’t make much of a difference. Other than that it’s been a good laptop.
